For nearly a decade, Leigh Stearns and collaborators aimed a laser scanner system at Greenland's Helheim Glacier. Their long-running survey reveals that Helheim's massive calving events don't behave ...

When massive blocks of ice detach from glaciers, it is known as calving. This process is one of the main ways that glaciers lose mass, and has long been a dramatic visualization of changes in ice ...

Scientists uncover how a flat seabed triggered Hektoria Glacier’s record collapse, offering new warnings for Antarctica’s ice and rising seas.

The Hektoria Glacier in Antarctica has shrunk by 50 per cent in just two months, leading scientists to warn of disastrous consequences for global sea level rise.

When an Antarctic glacier was sparked into rapid retreat three years ago, it left scientists scratching their heads as to ...

Findings show the unprecedented speed of retreat is similar to the dramatic glacier retreats that occurred at the end of the last ice age.

Glaciologists recorded a five-mile retreat in just two months on the Hektoria Glacier on the eastern Antarctic Peninsula -- a rate nearly 10 times faster than previously measured for a grounded ...

Researchers in Greenland used a 10-kilometer fiber-optic cable to track how iceberg calving stirs up warm seawater. The ...

All before us is ice. Stretching out for miles there's nothing but a vast barrier of white. A frozen sea, more than 30 stories tall, as menacing as it is beautiful. The engine falls silent and the ...

It is not a secret that glaciers are melting, and that it causes a problem with sea levels rising, but a new way of reading, collecting, and analyzing data using AI, can make us better understand what ...

Scientists aren't being dramatic when they call it the Doomsday Glacier. Melting at Thwaites, an expanse of ice bigger than ...
